Following Okamura Neiji¡¯s order, the entire North China Front took action!
For a time, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Suiyuan, Chahar and Pingjin areas were mobilized frequently. Rapidly advancing Japanese and puppet troops could be seen everywhere, and the situation in North China instantly became tense.
The Japanese army mobilizes frequently, and the Chinese army is not willing to lag behind!
After learning that the Japanese troops in Datong had moved north to Sui and that the Japanese and puppet troops along the Inner Great Wall were moving north, the World War II District Governor immediately ordered multiple units, including the 18th Group Army, to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops in central and southern Shanxi to contain the garrison. Shanxi First Army.
Li Guoyao also felt that the time had come to close the net, and immediately ordered Zhang Tengjiao's troops to attack immediately, and divided his troops into three groups to advance towards Datong City.
On the night of June 13, the main force of the 177th Division, which was already ready to go, moved towards Datong City under the cover of darkness like a wild beast out of its cage.
At this time, the original defenders of Datong City, the 12th Regiment of the 26th Division, the artillery regiment, and the cavalry regiment of the division had crossed the Qingshui River and were heading to Guisui in an emergency. The only remaining defenders in the city were Two under-manned infantry brigades of the newly formed 13th Regiment.
This 13th Regiment was completely wiped out when Li Guoyao's troops attacked Datong last time. After the war, Anda 23 immediately rebuilt this regiment in order to maintain the integrity of the unit's organization.
As a result, due to insufficient troops, only two brigades were formed, and these two brigades were just mere shelf goods, with a total of only more than 1,200 people.
The most important thing is that 80% of these 1,200 people are new recruits and are not useful at all.
Fortunately, the garrison troops from Shanyin and other places have also withdrawn to the city, totaling more than 3,000 people. Together with the newly formed two regiments of puppet troops, the garrison troops in Datong City also have about 5,500 people.
In addition, under the order of Okamura Neiji, the new commander of the 26th Division, Lieutenant General Otsuka Kikujiro, also armed all the more than 4,000 Japanese male expatriates in the city, issued them weapons and equipment, and served as retired military personnel. As an officer, as a reserve force for the city defenders.
As a result, the number of garrison troops in Datong City is still considerable!
When they learned that the Chinese army had indeed sent troops to Datong, Otsuka Kikujiro personally reported the situation to Zhangjiakou and stated that judging from the current garrison strength of the Datong garrison, it should be possible to ensure that Datong would be safe for ten days.
If the army does not have enough weapons to attack the enemy, it can be guaranteed in half a month to twenty days!
Otsuka Kikujiro dared to say this, not only because he had more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops under his command, but more importantly, the defenses of Datong City gave him enough confidence.
After taking office, Otsuka Kikujiro inspected the fortifications of Datong City and made upgrades.
Otsuka Kikujiro built a strong fortification outside Datong City, which was completely composed of trenches and bunkers. Although these fortifications only protected the north and south gates of Datong, with these two fortifications, the Chinese army It is impossible to find a breakthrough from the direction of the city gate.
Moreover, Otsuka Kikujiro has also seen the city wall of Datong City. He has never seen such a tall and majestic city wall. The several-meter-thick Datong City Wall is difficult to destroy even with heavy field artillery bombardment, not to mention that the Chinese army has no Field heavy artillery.
Precisely because of this reliance, Otsuka Kikujiro is so confident!
It¡¯s just that he forgot that what he was facing was Li Guoyao¡¯s army, a force that was good at creating miracles!
At ten o'clock in the evening, the main force of Zhang Tengjiao's first brigade arrived in Datong County and captured Datong County without encountering resistance. Then the entire brigade appeared at the south gate of Datong in only one and a half hours.
The Second Brigade, also under the command of brigade commander Ni Zhiliang, set out from Yanggao. After fighting, it defeated the Japanese troops in Wangguantun Town, Jule and Zhoushizhuang Town, and arrived at the east gate of Datong at one o'clock in the morning.
The Long Dayun Brigade on the northern line attacked from Fengzhen. The main force went all the way south and arrived at the North Gate of Datong around one o'clock after a series of battles.
At this point, except for the west gate, the other three gates of Datong City have been surrounded by the 177th Division.
However, what the Japanese army never expected was that after Li Guoyao's troops surrounded Datong City, they did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they left part of their troops to continue the siege, and then allocated most of their troops to attack the surrounding counties of Datong.
Since most of the troops in these places have withdrawn to Datong City, Zhang Tengjiao's two regiments of cavalry conquered Zuoyun, Yungang, Huairen and Yingxian in just one night.
At the same time, another regiment's troops were moving south rapidly.The military front was directed at Shanyin and Shuo County.
Such a cunning operation completely confused the Japanese troops in Datong City. Wasn't the purpose of the late-night assault to catch them off guard? Why did they divide their troops to attack those small counties? What does this mean?
However, when Otsuka Kikujiro reported the situation to Zhangjiakou, the commander of the Mongolian Army, Ganpa Jutaro, suddenly felt something was wrong. Unlike Otsuka Kikujiro, the newly promoted division commander, Ganpa Jutaro's command level was still very high. .
He knew at a glance that Li Guoyao's troops were determined to capture Datong City. They did not attack Datong City because they felt that Datong was the fat in their mouths and could be eaten at any time.
The purpose of attacking the counties around Datong first is to prepare for the defense of Datong City in the future, and to prevent these places from being occupied by other forces!
All in all, there is only one reason for doing this, and that is because the support/that person is confident in conquering Datong!
At that moment, Ganpa Jutaro immediately called Otsuka Kikujiro, telling him to be more vigilant and to be careful of mutiny by the Imperial Alliance Army in the city, or even an uprising on the battlefield, because other than these, he really couldn't think of where the confidence of the Chinese army could come from.
After receiving a call back from Jutaro Ganpa, Kikujiro Otsuka showed great disdain!
He has personally inspected the defenses of Datong City. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are impregnable. Although the quality of the troops defending the city is not very high, if the opponent wants to use those crude weapons and equipment to conquer such a fortified city, it is simply impossible. possible.
What a confidence, in his view, the reason why the Jiujiu Army did not attack immediately was that they were frightened by the defensive situation of Datong City and deliberately avoided fighting.
But he soon realized that he was wrong. When it got slightly brighter, the national army's attack began!
Outside Datong City, Dangliuzhuang, the 177th Division temporary headquarters.
In a simple house, the command staff of the 177th Division gathered together. There was no terrain sand table, no desks and chairs, just a hanging map and a few radio stations that kept beeping.
Zhang Tengjiao handed over the successful report of the capture of Yingxian County that he had just received to the combat staff on the side, and then asked: "What time is it now?"
"Reporter, it's already six o'clock!"
"It's six o'clock. The brothers outside the city have also rested. Call them immediately and let the brigades start attacking the city according to the original plan!" Zhang Tengjiao ordered.
"yes!"
"Remember, let them avoid the frontal defensive positions of the Japanese army. After the city wall collapses, they will bypass their forward positions and surround and annihilate the Japanese from behind!" Zhang Tengjiao warned.
"yes!"
After issuing the combat order, Zhang Tengjiao laughed at Chief of Staff Zhang Hao and said: "Old Zhang, those little devils will probably die without knowing why Datong City is so vulnerable, hahaha!"
"That's because our manager has a unique vision and can always take one step at a time and see three steps ahead!"
"That's right. When it comes to fighting, I, Lao Zhang, won't accept anyone, except the chief!" Zhang Tengjiao said with emotion.
"Hahaha, I thought your face, Master Zhang, made everyone dissatisfied. It seems that one thing is really bringing down another, hahaha!"
